1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia (HHT) is a rare genetic disease characterized by epistaxis, telangiectasias, and arteriovenous malformations (AVMs). Clinical diagnosis of HHT is typically guided by fulfillment of the Curaçao criteria. HHT is a known risk factor for brain abscesses in the pediatric population, particularly in those with pulmonary AVMs, where intrapulmonary right-to-left shunting permits septic emboli to seed the brain. We report the case of a 9-year-old girl with asthma and chronic sinusitis who presented with 5 days of congestion, cough, and worsening headache in the setting of Coronavirus Disease 2019 infection. Due to persistent hypoxia and transient altered mental status, further evaluation was pursued, with brain magnetic resonance imaging revealing multiple ring-enhancing lesions and chest computed tomography (CT) demonstrating multiple pulmonary nodules. CT angiography confirmed diffuse pulmonary AVMs. Culture from a brain biopsy grew
